Which outcome results when grain boundaries impede dislocations?

💡 Explanation

Material hardening occurs because grain boundaries block dislocation movement, a process called Hall-Petch strengthening; therefore, a smaller grain size increases strength, rather than altering thermal expansion or magnetic behavior, because dislocation movement is impeded across each small grain.
